Salman on Priyanka’s ‘Bharat’ exit: Wedding or a Hollywood film, its her decision

A few days back, Priyanka Chopra‘s ouster from her Bollywood comeback film ‘Bharat’ directed by Ali Abbas Zafar had created a ruckus, considering the actress announced her exit at the last moment. While the director spoke about the same in public, sending good wishes to the ‘Fashion’ actress for her future; the lead actor of the film, Salman Khan, was yet to comment on the same.

And recently, the ‘Dabangg’ actor decided to speak about the same at the trailer launch of his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma’s film ‘Loveratri’. Denying the rumours which stated that the actor is upset with PeeCee, Salman said, “I am really happy for her. Uss waqt hum ko ye pata chalta ke unhone wahan par koi bahut badi film sign ki hai aur hume thoda pehla pata chalta to hum waise bhi usko kabhi rokte nahi (If we had known then that she has signed a big Hollywood film, we wouldn’t have stopped her from leaving the film). End moment pe pata chala, shooting ke 10 din pehle pata chala. Shooting shuru ho gayi thi meri, par unke schedule se 10 din pehle pata chala ki who picture chhodna chahti hai. (We go to know at the end moment, 10 days before the shooting that she wants to leave the film).”

Khan went on to say, “We said, of course, if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. Uss waqt kuch alag reason diye gaye the hame (We were given another reason then..) Jo bhi reason hai, shaadi ka reason ho, ya picture ka reason ho, ya unko India main nahi kaam karna, ya mere saath nahi kaam karna, sirf Hollywood film aur TV show karna hai, wo unka reason hai. (Whatever it is, her wedding, Hollywood film or the fact that she does not want to work with me, it’s her reason.) We are really happy and supportive about her doing good work.”
